The gray wolf was very large, weighing over fifteen tons. Xia Qiu ate a small portion of it before pushing it ashore.

If you put it in the sea, it will soon attract more fish and scavengers, and the gray wolf will soon be eaten.

After Xia Qiu finished eating the gray wolf, a warm current slowly appeared and spread around his body.

Most of the heat flowed into its abdomen and arms. The front of its arms had been bitten off, but it was recovering thanks to the regenerative abilities of its arms.

A small portion of the heat enters the body, providing energy.

The heat quickly disappeared, and many more tendrils and tentacles grew out of his body.

However, since there were no changes in her body, Xia Qiu was not in a hurry. She knew that the heat flow was too little and that her large size would prevent her from changing.

In the time that followed, Xia Qiu and Moo, one by the sea and the other on the shore.

The two fed on the gray wolf's carcass, and in just one day, most of the carcass was eaten, with Xia Qiu consuming the majority of it.

Whenever I get hungry in Xia Qiu, I go to the seaside and open my mouth.

Moo would bring the remaining gray wolf carcasses to Xia Qiu, and after Xia Qiu ate them, the rest would be taken to the shore.

A day later, the remaining gray wolf carcasses had rotted to the point of being inedible due to the hot weather.

Moreover, as the body remains for a longer period of time, the heat it provides decreases and eventually becomes negligible.

It seems that energy also gradually disappears over time.

The gray wolf he ate provided a lot of heat, but it still couldn't help Xia Qiu's body evolve.

Xia Qiu didn't know if there were still wolves on the island, but if not, then the Evolution Energy unique to wolves would be greatly reduced.

By the evening of the second day, Moo's wound had already scabbed over, but it would still take some time to fully heal.

Moo transformed into a lion, walked to the gray wolf's carcass, sniffed it, and shook his head in disgust.

It's not safe to eat.

Moo shook its head with a hint of regret.

Xia Qiu saw this and dived into the ocean.

These gray wolves ate three fish by themselves, and now that they can't eat anymore, Moo has no food and needs to go catch sea fish.

Xia Qiu thought to herself and then dived into the ocean.

He spent more than ten minutes finding a sea fish, ate part of it, and then came to the shore, carrying the fish ashore.

"Moo, dinner's ready."

Xia Qiu slowly retreated, looking towards the shore, only to find the coastline deserted.

Where did Moo go?

I had only been gone for a short time when Moo disappeared.

Xia Qiu waited nearby, and after a while, rustling sounds came from the woods.

Before long, Moo dragged a huge wild boar to Xia Qiu.

"Went hunting?"

Xia Qiu was somewhat surprised, but it made sense. Now that he was on land, he could transform into a lion, and hunting in the forest was his first choice.

Being able to hunt means he can survive on the island.

Moreover, he is huge, and as long as he doesn't encounter a pack of wolves, he is confident he can defeat even a Moo.

Moo dragged the wild boar to the shore, saw the sea fish, looked at the wild boar again, and then ran over to eat the sea fish.

When Xia Qiu gets hungry, as soon as Xia Qiu opens her mouth, Moo will push the wild boar into the sea.

One of them lived on land, and the other lived in the sea. Seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xia Qiu ate a lot of land creatures, and a heat flow appeared, but the physical changes were not very obvious.

But it wasn't useless. Xia Qiu felt an itch where his head and chest connected, and he knew something was going to happen there.

Click.

A bolt of Inazuma struck, illuminating the world before them.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and a strong wind swept through, causing the tree branches to sway wildly into the distance.

"A heavy rain is coming."

Xia Qiu discovered that the weather here was extremely bad, with heavy rain almost every three or four days.

Xia Qiu quickly dived into the ocean, while Moo transformed into a lion and ran towards the forest.

boom.

Moo's speed increased, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived deep in the island.

We must hide.

The downpour will last at least all night. If it were just rain, it would be alright, but there's Inazuma and strong winds outside. Spending the night at the beach in this kind of weather would be unbearable.

I seem to remember that there was a huge cave there during the last hunt.

Swoosh.

Moo ran into the distance and arrived at the foot of the mountain, where a huge cave appeared in front of him.

You can go in.

Moo rushed inside and entered the cave.

"The wind has died down a bit."

Moo felt relieved, deactivated its transformation, and lay there, waiting for the downpour to end.

But at that moment, two lights appeared in the darkness, and footsteps sounded.

"What?"

Moo straightened up and looked into the darkness.

A huge figure emerged from the darkness, with yellow and black stripes—it was a tiger.

"Roar."

The tiger saw Moo and roared.

It turned out to be someone else's residence, and this tiger had a scar on its chest, as if it were the one that had snatched the gray wolf from its mouth.

Moo immediately transformed into a lion, watching the other party warily.

But the next moment, the tiger looked at Moo, snorted, and then slowly backed away, lying down and staring at Moo.

Not attack?

Moo wanted to leave, but seeing that the other party had no intention of attacking, it lay down, did not revert to its lion form, closed its eyes, and rested for a while.

In the latter half of the night, Moo reverted to its manatee form.

Seeing this, the tiger in the distance looked puzzled, but did nothing.

The next morning, the rain stopped, and the tiger stood up and roared a few times at Moo.

"Moo".

Moo heard the shout, replied, transformed into a lion, and left the forest.

I should go to the coast to find my older brother.

But you have to hunt for food first.

Moo pondered, searching for creatures, and after circling around several times, spotted a wild deer.

The wild deer was about twelve or thirteen meters long. Upon seeing Moo, it turned around and ran away into the distance.

Moo then gave chase and pounced on the wild deer.

It is very fast and extremely agile.

The wild deer kept weaving through the woods, using the trees to dodge, preventing the Moo from increasing its speed.

Wow.

A tree appeared in front of Moo, forcing him to slow down and go around it, while the wild deer turned again and ran into the distance.

I'm so angry!

Moo angrily chased after it again, but always kept a distance.

The two ran forward along the foot of the mountain. After chasing for a while, a forest appeared in the distance. The trees in this forest were not the tall, straight fir trees that were common in their area, but rather a peculiar type of tree.

These trees are very thick, but much shorter than fir trees, with the tallest only reaching twenty or thirty meters, and they are not far apart from each other.

not good.

Moo discovered that he couldn't enter the forest at all; he was too big.

However, wild deer can go in directly without any obstruction.

Is it impossible to catch up?

Moo was somewhat discouraged; after chasing for so long, he had failed.

But just as the wild deer ran into the woods, a figure suddenly darted out from another direction and blocked its path.

Bang.

The dark figure swung its claws horizontally, striking the wild deer and sending it flying, its bones breaking and limbs snapping.

Swoosh.

The figure struck out, sliding forward a distance, leaving deep marks on the ground with its claws.

The wild deer rolled over and landed in front of Moo.

It's that tiger.

Moo looked at the other party; the one that had just come out was the tiger with whom he had just spent the night.

"Roar."

When the tiger saw the wild deer approaching Moo, it roared loudly.

Hearing its roar, Moo hesitated.

It was it that captured this tiger; otherwise, it would have escaped.

But it stole its own food.

But last night, it allowed itself to stay in its place again.

It can't possibly eat a whole deer anyway.

Moo hesitated for a moment, then slowly backed away, creating some distance between itself and the outside world.

Seeing Moo's actions, the tiger was a little puzzled. Why did you give me the wild deer?

The tiger slowly walked over and approached the wild deer, Moo did not attack without making a sound.

So the tiger lowered its head and began to devour the venison, finishing off half of it. It glanced at Moo and slowly retreated.

Upon seeing this, Moo rushed over, but instead of eating, it bit the deer's body and dragged it away.

What is he going to do?

The tiger wondered, and followed behind Moo.

Moo dragged the deer carcass to the seashore, where the shore was littered with bones and a half-eaten sea fish lay on the bank.

Moo released the wild deer onto the beach, where it transformed into a manatee, opening its mouth and calling out, "Moo, Moo."

A short while later, a huge Black Fish poked its head out of the water.

"Moo".

Moo pushed the wild deer into the sea, and the Black Fish bit the wild deer and dived into the sea.

Meanwhile, Moo started eating the sea fish on the shore, thoroughly enjoying himself.

This is?

The tiger in the distance was even more puzzled by what it saw.

This is a shape-shifting beast that can change its form and is enormous in size.

His combat strength was incredibly powerful; he could kill the wolf pack that caused him trouble, especially the Wolf King, who had once left a scar on his body and wanted revenge, but could only run away when he encountered them.

Moreover, he would share his food with others, unlike other powerful ferocious beasts.

More importantly, he also kept a fish.

That's really strange.

The tiger had never seen such a strange creature before, so she lay prone in the jungle, observing it quietly.
